The City of Cleveland is seeking its biggest lakefront construction grant to date as work on planning a transformation continues.
New renderings from the 60% complete master plan for the downtown Cleveland lakefront show how a hard-edged area around Browns Stadium could be filled with affordable, four-season fun, sunset vistas, development projects, and a land bridge connection to the downtown Mall.CLEVELAND, Ohio — Uncertainty over whether the NFL Browns will remain at Cleveland’s lakefront stadium or move to suburban Brook Park hasn’t slowed the city’s plans to transform the downtown shoreline.
Jeff Epstein, the city’s chief of integrated development, and Scott Skinner, appointed in March as the first director of the city’s new private, nonprofit North Coast Waterfront Development Corp., outlined the status of the city’s ongoing work on the lakefront, and how it will continue over the next year.
Earlier this year, the Haslams raised new questions about their intentions when they announced they wanted to explore building a $2.4 billion domed stadium as part of a larger entertainment district in Brook Park. The Haslams have purchased more than 170 acres of vacant industrial land east of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport on the site of a former Ford engine plant.

Epstein said that Mega grants are highly competitive, and that the city will continue seeking such grants whether or not it succeeds in its first attempt.
